About This Campsite

Back Channel Campsite is the first campsite on the right as you enter Round Pond. This site is out of the direct line of travel for most travelers so it tends to be quieter at this location. While the site is protected from a south wind, the waves pound in on shore during a north wind.

This site is popular with spring fishermen.
